HELP!, C-Dale wont start.

Postby mlb731 » Sun Mar 14, 2010 9:41 am

I am having some trouble with this bike. I just picked it up and I am having trouble getting it to run. Here is what I have done so far:
Changed all of the fluids
New tank and fuel lines, good pressure on return, fuel pump runs strong
checked fuse, strong battery
It will pop with ether but it seems like I am not getting any fuel into the engine. Aside from taking the injector in to get cleaned, do you have any other suggestions. Any help would be great. Thanks

Can you here the pump run? Look inside tank and you should see fuel returning back into the tank. When starting blip the start button just to wake up the ECU and prime the pump, then short 1-2 second cranks. Do you know if anything has been updated such as crankshaft? Do you have a DM cable?

check your flywheel to make sure it has not spun. to check pull the nut and the keyway should lign up with the C in cannondale, if it is off just a little it will through off your ignition timing.

UPDATE- pulled the injectors and they were "clicking" but number 1 was dry and 2 had just a small spurt of fuel. Ordered new injectors from boomer. Should be here in a couple of days. [-o< cross your fingers!
